Season of Advent 

The second Sunday of Advent in 2024 will be on December 8th. The theme of Advent's second Sunday is the peace that Christ brought to mankind with His birth and incarnation.

The Advent wreath has four candles - one is lit each Sunday of the four weeks of Advent. Each candle represents a new focus and time of reflection. The second week of Advent is the candle of peace.  This candle reminds us that the angels declared "peace on earth" at the birth of Jesus. Jesus offers us inner peace and peace with others. We can know and experience peace today only through the life of Jesus Christ.
